Btw, Krogoth and his brother hopped on last night, and their pings were running anywhere from high 60s to low 80s. Considering that they are in the Pittsburgh area and I'm in the Dallas area, I thought that was pretty good. Oh, and Krogoth was hosting a Ventrilo server for us, on top of that.

All that said, perhaps we can handle several players at a decent ping rate. It would be interesting to find out.

If you check the first page in the official ut2k4 thread, I believe most of the maps we play can be downloaded there. The redirect I think was a feature of our service provided by our host so I'm not sure we have one. I'd download as much as you can ahead of time because his connection surely won't be as decent.
